Wearing My Overalls

 Howdy friends!

Hope this post finds you all well.

When planning out this particular bunny,

I was reminded of the days my

grandpa H wore his overalls daily

(except Sundays) 

working on his farm.

Although he passed on when I was only 7,

I can still remember the blue jean overalls

he wore, with a handkerchief in his back pocket.

The life of a farmer was hard work,

and you needed clothes that worked hard too.

For my bunny's overalls I chose this plaid fabric.

Added an egg using a rusty pin.

The egg was made from linen 

Then I added a few Spring colored beads.

A fun face don't you think.

I aged both the bunny and his overalls,

but left the egg as is.

A wool worm was used for his scarf.

A worm is what we call a strip of wool in rug hooking.

He turned out just as planned.

Grandpa H would be proud!

This is my rug progress thus far.

Just more o the background added.

I could not finish outlining

my last bunny as I once again forgot

my white worms for his tail.

I can only hook on the weekends at the store

in between customers right now.

Am loving everyone's renditions of this rug

over at Saundra's blog.

Please do visit at Woodland Junction.

In other news.

My granddaughter Mikayla is now

learning to drive.

(Where have the years gone)

My Grandson Michael backed into his 

moms car. He cried and cried,

because she had just gotten it back from

the accident she had before her 

first surgery.

She forgot to tell him that she was parked

behind him, and he just started backing out

of their garage and hit her.

Finally Bob's sister had a heart attack

yesterday morning.

She is only 57.

She also has pneumonia.

They admitted her and are running

all kinds of tests.

Please say a wee prayer for her.

So young.

Well off to work.

Hope everyone has a great upcoming weekend!

Plaid Overall Blessings To All!
